WIRE-FABRIC TQOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 521,635, dated June 19, 1894.

Application filed October 12 1893- Serial No. 488.016. (N0 model.)

To 00% whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SELDEN S. CASEY, a subect of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident of the city of London, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metal-Fabric Tools, of which the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawlngs, forms a, full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a tool for compressing a metal plate, when the latter is suitably ad usted in connection with two wire strands crossing one another, to bind and hold said strands securely together.

This invention consists of the improved construction and combination of parts of the same, as will be hereinafter first fully set forth and described, and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference being had to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1. is a side elevation of a tool embodying my invention. Fig. 2. is another side view of the device at rightangles to, and viewing it from the left of the position seen in Fig. 1. the cutters being shown on the opposite side from that in which they appear 1n said Fig. 1. Fig. 3. is a cross sectional vlew on the line, or, m, of Fig. 1. Figs. 4, and 5, are detail perspective views of the respective standards. e

S, designates a standard, rigidly secured to, or formed integral with the handle, H; and rigidly secured to or formed integral with this standard, S, is the cutter, 0, cold chisel, G, and jaw, J, in the upper face of which, the concave, F, is formed, which concave is fitted to the outside shape of the metal plate,which secures the wire strands of the fabric together.

S, designates an adjustable standard,which is guided and held in line, and in contact with the standard, S, by the straps or hands, B, socured to said standard, S; and this standard, S, is formed with a cutter, O, with a staple puller, E, and with the solid overhanging j aw,

J, and rigidly secured to, or formed integral with the under side of this jaw, J, is a die, D, which is regulated to come opposite the concave, F, in the jaw, J.

H, designates a handle, pivotally secured at, I, to the standard, S; and this handle, H,

the compression of the jaws, J, J, together on said metal fabric interposed between said jaws, this is accomplished bymoving the handle, H, toward the handle, H; the slot, K, readily permitting the operation of said handle, H, in a lateral, and the standard, S, in a vertical direction. When required, the metal strand may be severed or cut by inserting it between the cutters, O, C, and moving the handle, H, toward the handle, H.

The device, E, may be inserted under the staple, Whichsecures the fabric to any framework, and said staple may thereby be withdrawn.

G, is a cold chisel, which is useful for cutting metals by blows from a hammer applied to the outer end of the jaw, J.

The hereinbefore described tool embodies in one, all the devices ordinarily used in connection with the manufacture of metal fabrics, and in such a manner, that neither one interferes in any way with the other, when in operation.

Having thus described my invention, I claim -1. The stationary standard, S, provided with the jaw, J, in the upper face of which the concave, F, is formed, and the straps, B, B, in combination with the adjustable standard, S, provided with the jaw, J, formed with the die, D, and the handles, H, H, the latter of which is pivotally secured to the standard, S, and formed with a slot, K, through which and the standard, S, the pivot bolt, L, extends, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The stationary standard, S, provided with the jaw, J, in the upper face of which the concave, F, is formed, the cutter,O, and the straps, B, B, in combination with the adjustable standard, S, provided with the jaw, J, formed I with the die, D, the cutter, C, and the handles, H, H, the latter of which is pivotally secured to the standard, S, and formed with a slot, K, through which and the standard, S, the pivot bolt, L, extends, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. The stationary standard, S, provided with the jaw, J in the upper face of which the concave, F, is formed, and the straps, B, B, in combination with the adjustable standard, S, provided with the j aw, J ,formed with the die, D, the staple puller, E, and the handles, H, H, the latter of which is pivotally secured to the standard, S, and formed with a slot, K, through which and the standard, S, the pivot bolt, L, extends, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

4:. The stationarystandard, S, provided with the jaw, J, in the upper face of which the concave, F, is formed, the cold chisel, G, and the straps, B, B, in combination with the adjust. able standard, S, provided with the jaw, J, formed with the die, D, and the handles, H, H, the latter of which is pivotally secured to the standard, S, and formed with a slot, K, through which and the standard, S, the pivot bolt, L, extends, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

5. The stationary standard, S, provided with the jaw, J, in the upper face of which, the con- "a slot, K, through which and the standard, S,

the pivot bolt, L, extends, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed in the presence of the twoundersigned witnesses.
